[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 3/5] job: Drop AioContext lock around aio_poll()

[Kevin Wolf]

Simimlar to AIO_WAIT_WHILE(), job_finish_sync() needs to release the
AioContext lock of the job before calling aio_poll(). Otherwise,
callbacks called by aio_poll() would possibly take the lock a second
time and run into a deadlock with a nested AIO_WAIT_WHILE() call.
